The Morecambe and Wise Heritage Trail was created to give something back to the town after the disappointment of news that an Eric and Ernie 7ft high bronze monument will be unveiled in Blackpool, not Morecambe as originally planned.
The Jubilee also hosted a heat of a Search for A Comedy Star contest organised by Jim Cadman, the entrepreneur behind the Heritage Trail.
The winner was Bournemouth comic John Lory. The Grand Final will be at the Globe Arena on Saturday, April 23. The winner will appear at a variety show at Blackpool Opera House in July to mark the 75th anniversary of Eric and Ernie forming their double act.
